Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau are all injectable treatments made from botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Although they work similarly by blocking the nerve signals to the muscles, each product has unique characteristics, offering subtle differences in how they are used and their effects.

DYSPORT - $5.75 per unit

Dysport is another botulinum toxin type A product that works similarly to Botox but has some key differences in formulation, diffusion, and treatment application.

How it Works: Like Botox, Dysport blocks nerve signals to the muscles, reducing their ability to contract and causing the wrinkles to soften and smooth out.

Onset of Results: Dysport often shows results within 2 to 3 days, whereas Botox can take 5 to 7 days.

Wider Diffusion: Dysport tends to spread more widely than Botox, which can make it a better choice for treating larger areas like the forehead. It works well for broader wrinkles or areas that require more coverage.

Treatment Areas: Dysport is commonly used for frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet, but its ability to diffuse makes it ideal for larger treatment areas.

JEUVEAU - $13 per unit

Often referred to as "Newtox," is a newer botulinum toxin injectable that is similar to Botox in its formulation and treatment capabilities. Jeuveau is FDA-approved for treating moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows.

How it Works: Like Botox and Dysport, Jeuveau temporarily blocks nerve signals to the muscles, reducing muscle contractions and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles.

Onset of Results: Jeuveau typically shows results in 2 to 3 days, similar to Dysport, with full results visible in about a week.

Treatment Areas: Primarily used to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, Jeuveau is also effective for other wrinkle areas like the forehead and crow’s feet.

BOTOX - $13 per unit

Botox is the most well-known and widely used botulinum toxin injectable treatment. It has been approved by the FDA for a variety of cosmetic and medical uses, including smoothing out wrinkles, treating frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, forehead lines, and even addressing medical conditions like migraines and excessive sweating.

How it Works: Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles and lines. By blocking the nerve signals to the treated muscles, Botox prevents the muscle contractions that lead to the formation of dynamic wrinkles.

Onset of Results: Botox typically begins showing visible results in 5 to 7 days, with full results appearing after about two weeks.

Treatment Areas: Botox is used for a wide variety of treatments, including frown lines, crow's feet, forehead lines, and even for non-cosmetic issues such as excessive sweating or chronic migraines.

Choosing the Right Option:

All three options provide safe and effective ways to smooth wrinkles and maintain a youthful appearance, and the best choice depends on individual needs, preferences, and the areas being treated. Consult with a licensed professional to determine the most appropriate treatment for you.
